Safety First 1

Safety First

Your new phone is a convenient and effective communications tool, but it can

be hazardous when used improperly. To avoid harming yourself or anyone else,

please review the following information before using your phone.

Batteries

Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if the terminals are

touched with a conductive material (for example, metal jewelry, keys, and so

on). Therefore, use caution when handling a charged battery. Additional

precautions and notes are listed below:

• Never throw a battery into a fire; it may explode.

• Fully recharge the battery if the battery is low or as soon as the low-battery

alert beeps.

• Do not drop the battery.

• Do not bridge battery contacts together with metallic objects.

• Do not remove the battery from the phone while the phone is powered on.

Settings you have changed may revert to their previous settings.

A recyclable lithium ion/polymer battery powers your phone. Please

call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle the battery.

Charging Devices

• Use only Genuine Panasonic charging accessories. Use of attachments not

recommended by Panasonic or your wireless service provider may result in

fire, electrical shock, or injury. Panasonic is not responsible for damage

caused by using non-Panasonic accessories.

• Do not expose charging adapters to moisture, water, or the weather.

• Do not use an adapter with a damaged cord.

• When using a DC adapter in an automobile, a small amount of electricity

flows through the adapter, even if the phone is turned off. Remove the plug

from the cigarette lighter whenever the phone will be left in the vehicle for

long periods of time.

Caution:

The cigarette lighter must have a 12V negative ground

socket.

Do not use the adapter in a vehicle that has a positive ground system.

Chapter 1

2 Safety First

Availability of Service

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and

landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this,

connection in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never

rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (for example,

medical emergencies). When operating in analog mode, the service area where

you can place and receive calls will be smaller than with other phones.

Emergency (911) Service

If you need to make an emergency (911) call, power the phone on, dial 911, and

press . Emergency calls can be made regardless of lock setting.

Note:

When you purchase your phone, the key is programmed

as a Super Dial key to call the emergency number 911. However, you

have to enable this key assignment before you can use it. See

“Emergency Call” on page 57

.

Remember, to make or receive any call, the phone must be switched on and in

a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not be

possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network service and/or

phone features are in use.

Safety Tips

Following the suggestions in this section will help ensure safe and efficient

operation of your Panasonic phone.

This Model Phone Meets The Government's Requirements For Exposure

To Radio Waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and

manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency

(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.

Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are

based on standards that were developed by independent scientific

organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.

The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit

set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

*

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard

operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its

highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the

phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because

the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the

power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless

base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and

certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in

positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by

the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the

public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard

incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the

public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Chapter 1

Safety First 3

tested for use at the ear is 1.51W/kg and when worn on the body, as described

in this user guide, is 0.747W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among

phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and

at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe

exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all

reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission

guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and

can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

after searching on FCC ID NWJ10A003A.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

http://www.wow-com.com.

Caution:

All Panasonic branded accessories are tested and comply

with FCC RF exposure requirements. Non-Panasonic accessories

may not comply.

Body-worn operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear your

wireless phone on your body while on a voice or data call, always place the

phone in a Panasonic supplied or approved carry accessory. Use of non-

Panasonic approved accessories may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may

violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with

the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently, do

not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the

antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher

power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Important:

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless

telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if

using your phone while driving:

• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your first responsibility;

• Use handsfree operation, if available;

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving

conditions so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,

certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from

your wireless phone.

•

Pacemakers:

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommendsthat a minimum separation of 6 inches (6”) or 15 centimeters

(15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with independent research and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Chapter 1

4 Safety First

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when

the phone is turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference;

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone

OFF immediately.

•

Hearing Aids:

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some

hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult

your service provider.

•

Other Medical Devices:

If you use any other personal medical device,

consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately

shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you

in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted

in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may

be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

•

Vehicles:

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer

or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

•

Posted Facilities:

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted

notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air; switch off your

phone before boarding an aircraft unless otherwise advised by airline

personnel.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a

“blasting area” or in other areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs

and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere

and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly

marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats;

fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum

gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or

particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you

would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both

installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air

bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed

and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

For U.S. Customers:

Recharging Tips

• Recharge batteries in a well-ventilated area between 41°F (5°C) and

95°F (35°C). Temperature may slightly affect charging time. In extreme

temperature conditions, the battery will stop charging and the indicator

light and battery charging icon will turn off. If this happens, remove the

charger, return the phone to an acceptable temperature level, and

connect the charger to restart charging.

• It is normal for your battery to become warm to the touch while it is

being recharged.

• Fully charge the battery for the recommended time.

• You can use the phone during charging, but doing so will extend the

charging time.

Battery Specifications

Times shown for standby, talk, and battery charge are

Removing the Battery

1

Slide latch down toward the bottom end of the phone.

2

Lift and remove battery.

Caution: Always turn the phone off before removing the

battery.

If you remove the battery while the phone is on, any

changes you have recently made to the settings may return to

their previous values.

Low-Battery Warning

The phone periodically beeps when the battery is low. The battery icon

( ) flashes and the

you may not be able to place or receive calls until the battery has been

recharged, or until shortly after you attach an AC or DC adapter. If you are

in a call when you hear the beep and the message appears, quickly end

your call or attach an AC or DC adapter.
